What is 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:27.120 the the difference between the biggest, the glaring difference between 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.719 living in New York and New Orleans? Well, I think 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.560 New York it's insanely expensive, it is huge. It's not 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.160 as scary as New Orleans. Because in New York, we 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.120 talked about this, there's people everywhere, so you can I 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.440 always feel safe even if something goes down, somebody'll see it, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.960 maybe they'll record it, maybe they'll tell a cop. But 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.920 in New Orleans it was lawless. You can drink outside. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:50.800 I'd get into a cab when I was a kid. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.559 The cab drive had a beer between his legs, Like, 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.800 where are you going? Everything's lucy goosey in New Orleans, 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.200 and I grew up with that. Then you get to 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.079 New York and it's a little more rigid. So yeah, 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.120 and you got no space, you're living in the shoe box, 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.400 you're paying out the ass on rent. But it's still 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.480 the best city in the world. I mean every culture 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:13.400 is there. Uh just the the city's electric. Everybody moves there. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.760 We got comedy, we got music, we got Broadway Puerto Ricans. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.520 It's great, but it's kind of dangerous in New York 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.720 these days now, Like I've been covering stories about New 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:29.199 York and like we're talking like people trying to kidnap 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.240 people and raping people in broad daylight in the middle 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.520 on the sidewalk. Totally, totally this is happening. We got 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.880 a subway slashers back now as a guy just cutting 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.839 people on the subway. Everyone's on edge. COVID fucked everything 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.600 up because all the rich people left because they were scared, 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.000 and all the they went to Connecticut and all that ship. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.840 But then the crazy people said, hey, there's nobody on 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.280 the street for a year now, we were on the streets, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.360 and so now we're coming back and they're here. So 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.559 it's a clash of the rich honky and then the 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.640 fucking uh scary homeless and they're like, hey, this is 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.160 our city now, and we're like, well, we gotta go 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.720 to work, psycho. So then just snip snip the old 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:17.840 foreskin man. Do you worry about cancel culture catching up 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.360 to you all the time, but you know you can't, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.000 you can't live like they just gotta be you.

I hope people can see that I'm just 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:37.720 working around. It's all just worse, so we can see 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.600 I'm just sucking around. It's all just words.

So I think you 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.120 just look at Charles Barkley and says crazy ship. He's like, hey, 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:13.839 bring it on, you got a problem with me, let's go. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.160 So I think that's yeah. But but but but he's 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.240 not like a great example because he he says what 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.240 he says within the confines of what the executives at 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.480 the tells him. That allows him to do you know, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.240 you know, because he's not tourious for throwing black people 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.600 under the bus, but he never calls out you know, 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.920 police officers and and other stuff like that. So you 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.000 know that that guy at you know, oh, he's not 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:46.000 You guys aren't a fan. I'm not interested. But I 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:53.080 like champions, Donald Trump, you like winners. We don't like 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.880 people has been captured. Well, well, well it's not just 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.800 about that, you know. I like I like people with 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.880 winning character. You know, it's more about character. You know, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.520 if you really want to understand a person, like if 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.480 you really want to understand someone, well with all of 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.960 this stuff that we that we go through in the 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.560 in this country, right, you have to look at like 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.800 when you start talking about people that that mean their 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.800 own people no good. All you gotta do is look 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.200 at it. If your criticism of your community out where 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.679 your contribution there, you go, that's him what No, I 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:34.599 just no, I see what you're saying, though, I get you. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.880 I want to read something. A couple of tweets that 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.880 I saw on your Twitter, right, I try to keep 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.480 it joking. I try to keep it funny. On Twitter, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.640 you said, I'm glad it's the Delta variant because if 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.920 it was the Spirit variant, it'd be an additional fee 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:58.440 for the vaccine. You wasn't You wasn't concerned about saying that. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.280 You just said it. I mean, no ill will towards anyone. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.040 Just a joke, that joke about airlines, you know, Delta 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.080 variant and we've all flown Spirit. They rape you on 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.880 the baggage and on the water and the pretzels. So 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.560 the joke is, hey, if it was a Spirit variant, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.880 you have to pay for something. That's what makes it 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.640 so funny, because Spirit text they have they nickeling damn 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:26.320 at you bro, don't do it. It's ever. At some point, 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.680 Spirit is going to start charging for oxygen. Hey, if 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:39.000 you want to breathee exactly know, they reel you in 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.360 because you're looking online like damn this tickets twenty eight 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.080 dollars to go to fucking Denver. Hey, that's pretty good. 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.800 And then before you know it, Oh, you want a seat, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.080 you want a bag, you want to water, Yeah, you 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.560 want an overhead. You're you're gonna just pay fifty dollars 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.120 for that. Now you're up to four fifty. It's like 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.480 a girl goes, hey, I'll blow you. And then you're like, ship, 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.360 I got claim idia. You don't know what I'm talking about. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:06.120 He said chlamydia six times this year. It's curable. Ship. 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.120 There's another one. Al, I can't wait for the first 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.040 black billionaire to go to space because the rocket is 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.600 gonna be huge. Although he might get pulled over, come on, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.000 that's comedy gold funny. I'm saying a big dick joke. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.840 So I got a big joke in there, and you 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:29.760 know the police brutality in there. It's now now now 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.800 with you've put the state to put this sting in 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:37.440 the historical context. Right when you look at the relationship, 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:44.800 the tumultuous relationship motorous between black people and police, specifically 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:50.560 white police officers. Yes, how do you, as a white 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:56.880 man tell that joke? And well, even first of all, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.360 think of that joke and say, fuck it, I'm gonna 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.120 go forward. I didn't even think that was that offensive 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.320 because I'm I'm saying the police are fucked up. So 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.200 I'm on your side there in the joke. No, no, 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:15.520 I hear it. But like the police brutality is always 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.520 sensitive topics. It's a very sensitive topic for black people 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.760 because I mean, hell, I mean we're on the shot 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:28.200 the end of the stick with it. So I get it. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.760 I get I'm a comedy connoisseur. I love comedy. So 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.080 it's a hell of a joke. You got. I'm saying, like, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.560 I think that it's risky, right, Some people were here, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.200 They're like, hey, wait a minute, I goddamn it, you 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.920 went too far. You know, like this ship is serious. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.760 I think I think it is. I think that when 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:54.320 you um, it's timing, I don't know will because you 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.200 can't really crack jokes about the LGBTQ community. I got 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.240 those two. Yeah, Well, I mean, look, you want to be. 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.200 We want to be equal or not. If if you're equal, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.199 then I'm gonna make fun of you. It's actually the 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.320 lesser than that, you don't you know when you have 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.800 the special needs kid in your gym class, everybody, we 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.320 all funk with each other. You go, I don't funk 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.840 with that kid, and that's the ultimate insult. So I 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.800 think making fun of every group is the true even 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.760 level playing field. Have you guys say retarded on stage, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.159 but I got a whole ten minutes on retarded. Dude, 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:30.280 this is good, I know, but the groundless. And again, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.520 I don't hate retarded people. Who what kind of psycho 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.960 would actually hate retarded people? I'm just joking. I mean, no, 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:37.520 no one's ever gone. Hey, I don't want to retards 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.959 of my neighborhood. You know, I love a retarded kid 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.000 in my neighborhood. I'd be great. They're so happy and 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.120 they can you know, they're very strong, they can lift 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.440 a car. Do you have any special needs people in 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.440 your family? I think there's some autism kind of going 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:57.000 through the Norman family. I'm impotent, can't get it up. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.960 But other than that, no, I'm kidding. I'm hard right now. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:05.480 But now there's a little cancer and then the grandma 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.280 and all that. But everything everybody's good, so nothing too bad. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:14.240 We're very lucky. We're blessed. Oh fuck, I am gonna 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.960 come to the improv please. We'd love to have you, alright, 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.200 I'll put you on the list. Alright, alright, we'll put 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.320 you in the you know, the black section. But you 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.919 know it's weigh in the back up by. I'm joking. 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:36.200 You gotta make light of horrible things. This guy right here, 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.119 man is the ship. I'm telling you, man, this dude 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.440 is the ship for real. When I first saw you out, like, man, 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.359 we gotta get this guy shown. When I got that email, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.760 it was touching. I appreciate it, Yeah, absolutely, man, Like 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:55.440 who inspired Mark Norman to get into comedy? How did 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.399 that happen? I just always loved it. That huge George 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.639 carl and huge Richard Pryor all that right, he's probably 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.240 the funniest guy, one of the funniest comics of all times. 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:10.000 Willie and I had uh a week or so ago. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.480 Yeah it was a week ago. Yeah, I mean the 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.880 guy catches on fire from freebasing and makes a joke 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.160 about that, and then his art it's amazing, and he's 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.240 so honest, and he now that so many comics doing him. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.480 He changed the whole game, you know. So, but that 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:32.400 was in the seventies. I mean Bill Cosby was like Willias, 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:38.600 Richard Pryor the best comic ever probably and Willie was like, nah, 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.200 I mean all the pens and we never really came 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.520 to the to the finish of it. But I'm want 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.280 to vote Richard Pryor. Okay, we could break it down 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.480 all day. I think that char he likes Bill Cosby. 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.640 Bro Bill Cosby, you wouldn't have prior without Cosby. See, 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.800 that's the thing I think that I think that Richard 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.880 is definitely on the Mond rushmore. Yes, I look at 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.520 like not just how famous a person was, and not 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.480 just how or not how talented they were, but their impact. 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:16.800 How how influential were you Richard? How many how many 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:21.080 people that really like went out and and and give 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.840 me a big word, how many how many people? How 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:29.080 many people went out and try to uh copy what 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.280 you did? Everybody try to emulate what you did? How 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.320 many people did that? And and so yeah, I'm not 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.800 saying anything. I'm saying Richard is definitely not like Richard Man. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.960 I used to like take Richard Pride jokes to school 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:42.920 and act like they were mine. You know, I tell 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.399 those jokes like they were mine. So yeah, man, So 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.920 Richard is definitely up there. I mean, he's always Mark. 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.800 He's definitely at the top. You on that, You're you're 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.480 right there, bro. You change the face. I'm serious, changing 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.520 the face of comedy, bro for real, like you're changing 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.200 it like you you don't give a funk. And that's 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.560 that's a beautiful thing. That's your time right now. And 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.800 you know you said a mouthful when you said you 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:10.240 can't be afraid of them, because these watch dogs are 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.520 like dogs, you know, if they feel if they sense fear, 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.399 that's when they come chasing and running after your ship. 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.240 And then and even if you apologize, you can't just apologize. 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.040 You gotta apologize like they want you to. You gotta 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:31.800 have that the motherfucker's mentality. Fuck you, you gotta have 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.840 that type of mentality. Are they gonna keep riding on you? 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:36.960 And I don't. And I do sense that when they 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:40.440 sense that they think they got somebody that they can 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:45.280 ride on, that they can actually uh influence their behavior 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.159 or whatever, they just go in and it trips me 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.399 out when somebody apologizes and they say no, no, no, 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.640 you got to apologize him too, then you gotta. We didn't. 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.399 We didn't feel that apologize you can be more sincere. Yeah, 0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.720 it's all bananas and where we consider them the good 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.720 guy us like your You claim to be compassionate and 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.640 trying to help people. You're fucking bullies your I want 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.600 another apology. That was that apology? You didn't mean that apology. 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:13.200 I'm like, I didn't mean the joke either. Motherfucker about that. 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.320 But they just want more more. It's control. How can 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.960 I do more? Do more? Keep kissing the ring, keep 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:22.040 bowing down both of my apologies and take them off 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.760 the table. You should retract all your apologizes, both apologies. 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.800 Don't do it. I would just say I would say 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.920 I would not attract an apology if I feel that's 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.000 what I want to say. If I'm sincere about my apology, 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.000 I'll apologizing that. What why would you say it in 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:40.880 the first place? If you want to apologize because we're 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.919 human beings and we make mistakes, that's whatever. Heard you 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.520 say you're sorry for nothing to nobody ever in life? Well, 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:52.479 I'm sorry you've never heard I'm done, man, all we finished. 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:54.919 But here's the thing is we we talked about canceling 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:56.800 and all that, and it's become like a religion. You know, 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.720 people live for this ship. But with religion, this forgiveness. 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.720 There doesn't seem to be any forgiveness in the canceling. 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.280 But have you noticed that the same people who are 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:11.360 part of the cancel culture are the same people who 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:15.920 are part of that don't judge? Exactly? Very interesting. You 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.760 go far enuf east, you're going west. If you go 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.720 you're going with yeah, yeah, don't judge. Don't judge.

Why then, are you worried 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.199 about me making a fat joke? This is the biggest 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.160 problem in the world. How privileged are you that this 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:38.639 is your biggest fight, fat joke. You don't give us, 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:40.879 you don't even care. You just want the cloud, you 0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.480 want the clicks, you want to get the wind. Well, 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.199
